Matosh Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 What ArmA 3 AW Invade & Annex Mission really needs is a group system, like in ArmA 2 Domination from Xeno. So basically you can create new group then other players can join in. bugmenot and tombguy5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombguy5 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 That actually can be useful. I support that idea. bugmenot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aciid Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 This is basically squads. Or are there other benefits of this custom wrapper? Like a per group radio channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarek Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think the issue Matosh is trying to make is that slots fill up quickly and finding a slot in the same squad as your friends is not always possible. The system would be a way of creating and dropping squads on-the-fly, allowing people from differing squads leave and form new ones so they can be together with their mates. It's a good system and I mean to implement it, but right now it's not a priority. I'll add this to my to-do list. iLLGT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLGT3 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah I do agree this is an awesome idea. It would be easier to implement tactics this way with your squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wok Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I did not understand fully what Matosh said cause I only played domination like 2 times, but if it's what rarek explained it sound good. I've been in a server (not I&A mission) where you could look at any player when they are close to you, and in the scroll mouse menu there was an option like "join xxxxx squad", im not sure how that handled the squad leaders but it was really easy to team up with friends using it.

antiprotestant Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have started working on a script that would function almost exactly as what you are talking about, plus have the ability to capture an opponent (remove weapons, set damage to prevent running). I was getting close (I think), but I have no help or others to help me test. I have posted what I started on the bis forums http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?153791-organize-multiple-addActions-via-script , but I am out of ideas on how to improve it until I learn more. I hope it may be of some use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerbugUK Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I like this idea as I often end up in a squad that doesn't really communicate with each other, be nice for squads or groups to actually work together. I remember playing a game of Escape from Stratis where we all worked as one unit to survive with one guy taking command, pretty cool stuff.

Aciid Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Group Management Script Found this, would it work for the purposes you desire? Actually doesn't provide additional channels, so might need to modify it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Would love to see a squad system like this! Would make life easier to squad with people you want to be with etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wok Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Group Management ScriptFound this, would it work for the purposes you desire? Actually doesn't provide additional channels, so might need to modify it a bit. I played on a I&A server that used that script, it looks pretty useful. These are the options it has: Leave Group = Leaves current groupJoin Group = Joins Group of Unit you are looking at AND near. Become Group Lead = Become group leader of your current group. Step Down as Group Lead = Stop being group leader and randomly assign another group member as leader. One problem it may cause is if anyone is allowed to become group leader at any time, then ppl may spam that option fighting to become the leader, not really serious but may be annoying. About the channels thing, I don't really understand that so I can't comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Goose Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have played on a server that had this feature in Arma 2 and it is really amazing. If your with random guys on the battlefield and your all in different squads u just make a new squad and u all jump in. Loved it! Must have!!

Rarek Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This will be added in time, but we need somebody who is capable of creating dialogs in-game (I'm happy to write all back-end code; I just can't make the bloody boxes). For now, keep an eye on radio channels commits for an initial solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yes I also think this would be a great idea. I only stumbled onto this mission by accident a few days ago and tried it out. I absolutley love this shit! I am truely addicted. Anyways, I noticed that whenever I join, the groups that were pre-made in the mission do not seem to stick together. I am pretty sure it has to do with what someone else suggested, slots just fill up quick and people would rather not fill certain roles because they do not prefer that role. Anyways, if this would be in use, then being able to group up with your mates and knowing where they are would be a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paraclete Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 IMHO this should be a top priority. Create Group Invite to Group Join Group Teamwork is lacking in a game that should be all about teamwork. XSnipa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
